Ocean Current Power generator, a less instable power supply system

The new electric power generator system developed by the Engineering promotion association was spotlighted over other generator systems like solar/wind power generator at the new energy exhibition held in June. They will be starting an experimental test for a small-scaled generator soon and for 50m diameter model in 2011. Wind power generator market is facing a difficulty to expand their business by its disadvantage of instability power supply in no wind environment. The advantage of Ocean current power generator is that enormous amount of the stable power can be supplied from Ocean current. There already have been successful models of commercialized products in the U.K. One of the most developed country in the Ocean current generator market is the U.K. There are many researchers working on the projects creating a variety of designs. They make use of the geographic advantage being surrounded by the sea. To apply this geographic advantage, Japan also has its potential for the enormous amount of power around the island.
